Editor Kcowee Courier: During tho second century tho great mass of Eastern Christians! celebrated Easter on the Jewish Passover, the fourteenth day of the | first Jewish month, or moon, think-! ing of Christ as tho true Bnschul Lamb. i The proper astronomical cycle for? calculating the occurrence of the Faster moot) was not determined hy Council of Nicea, which did. how ever, decide which me?hod of calcu lating Easter-the method used by the Kastern Christians or the Chris tians of the Occident-was correct, lt appears that the Melonie cycle was already in the West for this purpose, and it was on Ntbls cycle that the Gregorian calendar, intro duced in If.SS, was arranged. It was deference to ancient custom that } led the ecclesiastical authorities to adhere to the method of determin ation by the moon. The Christian festival never oc curs before the 22d of March or later than the 26th of April. In 17G1 and In 191S Easter occurred, or fell, on the 22d of March, but this will not be tho case again during the twen tieth century The latest Easter iii Ibis country is to be in 1918, when' il Will oi ut oil tho 2?Hh of April:, The popular observances, pa il or present, connected with the day are innumerable. The use of eggs in this connection is of the highest rank among ancient customs, the egg having been considered In a great many pre-Christian mytholo gies as a symbol of the resurrection. It is probable that here, as In other cases, the church adopted and consecrated an earlier custom. This is certainly true of the Easter Fires, which formerly celebrated the tri umph of spring over winter. Some of the mediaeval customs, especially in France and Germany, were very quaint, for example, that which pre vailed in several French cathedrals of a solemn game of ball being play ed by the bishops, canons and other dignatarios. All these observances had a com mon purpose-the expression of joy In the resurrection, and what lt rep resents. At that time Easter waa the principal feast of the Christians. J. F. F.
